Regarding the right of communication, in this era when knowledge is monopolized in the hands of the scholar class, even the emperor is still powerless in the face of the scholar group.
If the scholar class does not like a person, even if you are a king, they can arrange you as they please in future generations.
A large number of unofficial histories besides official history are the conventional means used by literati and writers to deal with people they dislike.
It is also because of this hidden power that kings in the past dynasties often made compromises with the scholars of the world, but the emperor was different, he was Zhu Yuanzhang.
His stubbornness is destined to be different from other kings.
"There is something in this kid's words. It's time to get this thing out of him some other time!"
Zhu Yuanzhang had such an impulse that he wanted to force Zhang Yi to tell what he was hiding as an emperor, but his reason told him that if that brat knew his identity, he would most likely pretend to be confused.
"Let Gao Jianxian and the others try first..."
Lao Zhu found that he became more and more patient when facing Zhang Yi.
…
Zhang Changchang set out on his way back to Longhu Mountain the next day, and after arranging his affairs, he headed to Yangzhou without stopping.
There is no news about the Yangzhou incident for the time being, but during this period, good news from the north came frequently.
After Xu Da returned to the front line, he immediately divided his troops to attack Henan. He went all the way up the Yellow River from Jining to attack Bianliang, and then attacked Xuzhou through Yongcheng and Guide in Henan. Wherever he passed, the Ming army was invincible.
Lao Zhu's attention also shifted from Zhang Yi to the front line.
On Zhang Yi's side, the Huang family and his son "disappeared" again during this period.
He was at ease tinkering with his own things in the Taoist temple, practicing Tai Chi and standing on Tai Chi poles every day, and his life was quite comfortable.
"Junior brother, why are you practicing Quanzhen Dao...?"
Deng Zhongxiu, a senior fellow student, couldn't stand it. Zhang Yi, the direct descendant of Longhu Mountain, spent his whole day tinkering with research that he couldn't understand.
I have never seen him practice before.
The only thing that can be related to spiritual practice is probably Tai Chi and Tai Chi Zhuan...
These things don't look like the orthodoxy of Longhu Mountain, but they look like things from the Quanzhen Tao.
The Taoist practice system can be roughly divided into two categories: outer alchemy and inner alchemy.
The external alchemy technique is naturally Longhushan. After the internal alchemy method was spread, Quanzhen was regarded as a master.
Although the art of external alchemy is in decline, there are still talismans and pure gods in Longhu Mountain, but Zhang Yi doesn't practice it, and he doesn't believe that there are any gods in this world. What's the point of practicing those things?
Although inner elixir, stance, and Tai Chi have little to do with longevity, they can at least strengthen the body.
Especially the Tai Chi post. Zhang Yi, who had rhinitis in his previous life, thought about it for a year and actually got rid of his rhinitis.
So after time travel, these two things also relied on Zhang Yi for protection.
However, he is still young and static training will affect his development somewhat, so Zhang Yi currently prefers slow Tai Chi.
"Senior brother, it's important to have different opinions, let alone which of your eyes can see that this is something from the Quanzhen Tao. Is there anyone other than me who knows how to do Tai Chi?"
Deng Zhongxiu was speechless when Zhang Yi responded.
In fact, he didn't know what Quanzhen Taoism knew.
"We Taoist priests, who sit cross-legged and do homework all day long, also need some activities to keep us calm and active. How about I teach you Tai Chi?"
As soon as Zhang Yi said this, Deng Zhongxiu was also moved.
He didn't know what the benefits of Zhang Yi's boxing technique were, but it looked really ethereal and had the aura of an immortal~
Then he started to study Tai Chi seriously with Zhang Yi. Qingxin Guan was not very popular and no one came.
The two of them studied boxing on their own.
…
At the entrance of the Taoist temple, a carriage slowly stopped.
"It's really hard to find the Qingxin Temple... and so are the people in Longhu Mountain. There are so many Taoist temples in the capital, but why do you want to find such a remote place!"
Chang Mao emerged from the carriage first, muttering unhappily, and jumped out of the carriage first.
"Shut up, if you keep talking nonsense this time, I'll make you lie down for another month when I go back!"
Lan's voice came from behind Chang Mao, and Chang Mao shrank his neck.
The Chang family girl put her head around and got out of the car first, and then the maid helped Lan get out of the car.
Next came Chang Sheng.
A group of people from the Chang Mansion came to Qingxin Temple.
"Choose such a secluded place, probably because the real people in Longhu Mountain don't like to be disturbed by others and practice quietly... Remember, we are here to ask the Taoist priest to help us perform rituals and clear up the cause and effect in Chang Mansion!
If you hadn't been messing around last time, why would you have waited so long for your mother?
Remember, you will apologize to the Taoist Priest later! "
Chang Mao was very unconvinced, but under Lan's gaze, he did not dare to object.
He gave the servant a look and asked him to lead the way.
The family entered the Taoist temple, but saw no one.
Deng Zhongxiu and Zhang Yi are still practicing boxing inside...
"Is anyone here?"
The group of people walked into the backyard while shouting, and saw Zhang Yi teaching Deng Zhongxiu how to practice Tai Chi.
Zhang Yi's Tai Chi is the Park Boxing method of later generations. Although it has almost no actual combat value, its appearance is absolutely first-class.
With flowing clouds and flowing water, the movement and stillness are harmonious, and Zhang Yixian's boxing style is full of aura.
The Chang family's image of Zhang Yi as a fairy has been further strengthened!
"Is it you? Sister Chang..."
Zhang Yi heard the noise and turned around to see the Chang family.
The first person he greeted was naturally the Chang family with whom he had the best relationship.
"Little Taoist Priest!"
Chang also liked the little Taoist priest very much and greeted Zhang Yi with a smile.
Immediately, she remembered what happened today and said:
"Little Taoist Priest! Today my mother and my brother are here to apologize to you..."
Only then did Zhang Yi turn his attention to Lan.
Lan: "I have met Xiao Zhenren before. I only came to visit Xiao Zhenren today. I am negligent!"
She didn't say that the emperor's intervention caused Chang Mao to lie down for a month, and Zhang Yi pretended not to know.
"The cause and effect is over, there is no need for Madam to come again!"
Except for the Chang family, Zhang Yi didn't have a good impression of anyone in the Chang family.
Therefore, he also had a normal attitude towards Lan. Lan turned back and glanced at Chang Mao.
Chang Mao came over and said reluctantly:
"Little Taoist priest, I was wrong last time, please forgive me!"
Chang Mao was not sincere, and Zhang Yi didn't bother to pay attention to him, he just nodded.
Lan quickly made amends:
"Little Master, I'm here this time to finish what I didn't finish last time..."
"Mrs. Chang, do you still have nightmares?"
Zhang Yi asked Lan, who shook his head.
He thought the same thing. To put it bluntly, Lan's nightmare was a mental illness. He was frightened by Chang Mao's incident and was not in the mood to worry about it.
He pretended to be mysterious:
"The cause and effect is over, and the rest will naturally disappear... The poor Taoist and the donor have both money and goods!"
"Xiao Zhenren, I still have something to ask you..."
Seeing Zhang Yi's cold attitude, Lan quickly grabbed Zhang Yi's hand.
"Little Master, last time I heard you say that my family's Lao Chang...killed and captured unknown persons?"
This is the question that Lan really wants to ask Zhang Yi. Chang Yuchun is the backbone of the Chang family and cannot tolerate any loss...
Since she accepted that Chang Sen died because of Chang Yuchun, she would naturally worry about Chang Yuchun as the instigator.
As soon as Zhang Yi heard that she was here to ask Chang Yuchun questions, he didn't want to talk to her anymore.
"General Chang is the pillar of my imperial court. I don't dare to look at his fate. I don't have Zhou Dian's water skills, and I don't want to go to the river to feed the fish..."
Zhang Yi rejected Lan without hesitation, what a joke...
He could be open-minded about who he was, but he had no interest in showing off his ability to see into the future in front of Lan and the others.
To put it bluntly, except for the girl from the Lan family, he didn't have the slightest fondness for anyone else in the Chang family.
The one hundred taels of silver last time had already made him angry, so he would naturally not pay attention to the Lan family anymore.
"Mrs. Lan, the secret must not be leaked, you should please come back!
Senior Brother Deng, help me deliver Mrs. Lan! "
After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he turned around and ran inside.
"Zhang Yi, you..."
Chang Mao was furious when he saw that Zhang Yi's attitude was completely different from the last time in Chang Mansion.
He was forced by his mother to apologize, but he was not convinced by this little Taoist priest.
Zhang Yi was no longer afraid when he heard his roar coming from behind.
Today is different from the past. The last time he was forced to go to the Chang Mansion, it happened to be that Longhu Mountain was suppressed. Compared with the high-ranking Chang family, Zhang Yi was just a poor guy who was "exiled" in the eyes of others.
But now Zhang Changsheng's use value to Emperor Zhu has greatly increased, and the holy family is prosperous.
Zhang Yi didn't believe that the Chang family still dared to use their power to overwhelm others at this time?
Sure enough, as soon as Chang Mao opened his mouth, Lan's gaze forced him to shrink his neck.
"Madam, why don't you come back another day?"
Deng Zhongxiu acted as a peacemaker as always, while Lan's face looked uncertain.
She really wanted to get angry, but she had no reason and didn't dare...
The news that the emperor promoted Zhang Changchang and even entrusted him with important tasks spread throughout Yingtian Mansion. If Zhang Changchang hadn't come and gone in a hurry when he came to the capital, I don't know how many people would have wanted to visit him.
At this juncture, if the Chang family offends the little Taoist in front of them again, the Chang family may not be afraid, but it will also be very troublesome.
Moreover, Mrs. Chang truly believed in Zhang Yi's story and did not dare to offend him.
The less he wanted to say it, the more Lan felt that Chang Yuchun might have a problem.
"Girl!"
Lan's inspiration flashed and he immediately thought of his daughter beside him.
The cooperation between Chang Mansion and Zhang Yi was not a happy one, and Lan knew it very well. The only person in Chang Mansion who remained kind to him was probably his daughter.
"How about you go and ask the Taoist Priest?"
"mother!"
The Chang family girl didn't expect that Lan would target her.
"I see you can chat well with the little real person, why don't you go and coax him?"
Chang's move was not because she felt any difference between herself and Zhang Yi, but because she also had her own little thoughts...
She lowered her head and said:
"Mom, what about my daughter?"
"Well, you go ahead!"
Lan had no choice but to pin his hopes on Chang Yi.
The Chang family girl walked up to Deng Zhongxiu and bowed:
"Taoist Master, please ask me to go and say a few words to the Taoist brother. If he drives me away, I will never stay..."
Deng Zhongxiu also saw that Zhang Yi's attitude towards the Chang family was indeed different from that of the Lan family and others. He nodded silently and agreed.
The Chang family girl thanked her, took a food box from the girl, and walked past Deng Zhongxiu towards it.
She curiously looked at the backyard, but found that it seemed a little different from other Taoist temples.
"As expected, sister was summoned in by your mother!"
When Chang was looking for Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi appeared behind Chang, frightening her.
"Sister, do you want to ask questions for your mother, or do you want to ask about your own marriage?"
Zhang Yi is just a cute child in front of Chang!
